Chapter 1471 My Altay 18
In the Kazakh tradition, the cattle, sheep, horses and camels raised by the family are regarded as food provided for family, friends and guests, and are not sold as commodities. This means that when guests come to the door, everyone will generously slaughter cattle, sheep, horses and camels for the guests to enjoy. If the guests ask to buy them, the purity of this friendship will be lost.
Of course, with the changes of the times, this custom has gradually faded, but herders will still slaughter a good sheep to entertain guests who come to buy cattle, sheep, horses and camels.
Zhang Fengxia wanted to choose a ewe that was producing milk. She bought the sheep for its milk, not its meat. The two sides argued for a long time over the price. As the day was getting dark, the enthusiastic host of course wanted to let Zhang Fengxia stay for one night and even slaughtered the sheep she had chosen to entertain her guest.
Zhang Fengxia was stunned and had no choice but to stay for one night. However, she made up her mind that if she couldn't negotiate the price tomorrow, she would go to another ranch.
Li Wenxiu, who was at home, had prepared dinner and was eagerly waiting for her mother to come back, but the only person she got was an enthusiastic Kazakh boy.
The other man had a big beard and slightly dark skin, but his brilliant smile moved Li Wenxiu deeply.
The young man said to Li Wenxiu, "There is a proverb that says half of our Kazakh cattle and sheep belong to our guests. Zhang Fengxia didn't choose the right sheep today, so I'll have to keep looking. So I asked me to come over and talk to you."
Li Wenxiu is still very good at making small talk. "I know that proverb. On our way here, many people offered us yogurt and milk tea."
The young man saw Li Wenxiu swiftly packing up the salt and other small items he wanted to buy, and then he talked about the news he had just received: "Someone has moved here again today. I saw them when I came. Go to the east and wait, and you will see them."
Li Wenxiu suddenly had an idea. There was still a thermos of unopened goat milk at home, as well as some naan that Ba Tai gave her when she went to report the news. She also wanted to learn from others and prepare goat milk and naan for passers-by.
The young man was in no hurry to leave. Li Wenxiu packed her things in front of him and asked, "Please help me look after my grandma first. I'll go over there and take a look!"
The young man understood what Li Wenxiu meant, and was even happy that she took the initiative to join such a custom. He nodded repeatedly and agreed: "Don't worry, I will help you look after your grandmother."
In the sunset, Li Wenxiu climbed up the hill and saw the familiar flock of sheep and people riding horses. She called out loudly, "Uncle Yao! Kulan!"
Ah Yao also saw Li Wenxiu and jokingly asked his daughter Kulan: "Did she call me a bear again?"
Kulan also thought that the joke Li Wenxiu made that day was quite funny, but she would not easily follow her father's joke on his friend. Instead, she answered seriously: "She didn't call you Ayou today."
The goat milk was still warm. After drinking it, my whole body was warmed up, and even my fatigue was relieved. I took another bite of naan to fill my stomach. Ah Yao smiled and thanked Li Wenxiu: "After eating your naan and drinking your goat milk, we can set up the tent in no time."
Kulan also said: "Our home is just down the mountain over there. When we have packed up, you must come over to visit us!"
Li Wenxiu was of course very willing to do so, and even pointed out the direction of her home to Kulan: "My family has opened a small shop again. When my mother comes back, I will visit your house when I am free. And Xu Qin and Token, they live over another hill."
Xu Qin took her cell phone and went out to look for a signal. She climbed up a high ridge and stood on the back of a black horse. Her goose yellow dress was really eye-catching.
Ba Tai led the sheep to the hilltop and felt bored, so he found a flat place to lie down, looked at the changing white clouds in the sky, and let his thoughts fly.
As if she was suddenly inspired by something, Ba Tai sat up and saw Xu Qin not far away. She stretched her hand towards the sky, as if she wanted to catch the cloud that was still changing shape.
Ba Tai stood up and patted Taxue's neck, muttering, "We are all looking at the same cloud. This is what the Han people call fate."
Xu Qin also saw Ba Tai and waved as a greeting.
However, Ba Tai rode his snow-covered bicycle and ran towards them. Xu Qin put the mobile phone with intermittent signal back into the bag. Facing the sun, Ba Tai looked a little sparkling.
Xu Qin greeted, "Good morning, Ba Tai."
Ba Tai blushed instantly and said without thinking: "When I went out this morning, I heard from my sister-in-law that there was no movement from your side..."
Xu Qin didn't think there was anything wrong with staying in bed occasionally, but she didn't plan to discuss it. Instead, she asked, "Is Uncle Sulitan taking a rest today?"
Although Ba Tai is a straight man and doesn't pay attention to some overly detailed things, he still understands the basic etiquette of the world. Knowing that he was a little rude just now, he quickly stepped down and said, "Yes, Uncle Buick, come and talk to him. I'm out herding sheep today."
"And Uncle Ayao and his family have also come to the summer ranch. We should get together and then we can go together."
Xu Qin didn't know about A Yao's family yet. They didn't have much contact with them, but they knew each other. Of course, they would know some news. "I heard that Kulan's marriage is about to be decided. Do you know who Kulan likes?"
It has been two years since Batai left home to work in the city. Besides, he doesn't have much contact with Kuran, and the women in his family have never talked about Kuran's emotional problems. How would he know?
But he was obviously good at talking, and he praised Xu Qin: "I don't know who Kuran likes, but you know all these things after just being here, you are really amazing."
The rain in the mountains came suddenly, and there was no White Shoulder Strap and Honey to help herd the sheep today. Batai and Xu Qin were in a hurry to finally drive all the sheep back to the pen, and Token had to go out with the bag.
Ba Tai asked Token, "Sister-in-law, it's raining, where are you going?"
Token threw the bag at Batai's feet and ordered him directly: "Zhang Fengxia is buying casein, ten yuan per kilogram, you can take it."
Ba Tai watched Xu Qin dismount and walk into his tent. He then looked at his sister-in-law Token who had an unquestionable look on her face. He could only pick up the bag and go out again. "Okay, I'll take it over. Is there anything you want to buy? If you give me money, I'll buy it for you."
Token was disgusted with Bata and pushed him away quickly, "You should sell the casein quickly and come back. You don't have a penny and you still want to brag."
Looking at Ba Tai's heroic figure on the horse, Token couldn't help but recall the time when she just married Murati, when Ba Tai was still running with a snotty nose. Shaking her head, she warned herself, "I can't tell you about this. If I tell you, Xu Qin will look down on Ba Tai even more!"
Thinking of the washboard Xu Qin gave her, she just felt that it was great to have girls in this world, better than having men.
